Author's Note: This is a response to the book A Christmas Carol. I chose a quote from the book and talked about the meaning.
"In a changed nature, in an altered spirit, in another atmosphere of life, another Hope as its great end. In everything that made my love of any worth or value in your sight. If this had never been between us," said the girl, looking mildly, but with steadiness, upon him, "tell me, would you seek me out and try to win me now? Ah, no!"
In the book A Christmas Carol the main character Scrooge, is a man with a life full of hate. His only care in the world is money. In this quote from the book, his fiancé is breaking up with him. She feels as if money is more important to him than she is. I believe the author added this quote in his book because it shows how shallow Scrooge is. Though, it tells us how ………. I think the author wants to show us that love is greater than anything.
When Scrooge revisits this moment in his life he starts to realize that the way he has been in the past needs to change. The idea that when he dies all of the money he had won’t matter starts coming across his mind. All that will matter was how he lived his life. Scrooge had many chances in his life to let love in. With his nephew, with his sister, and with his fiancé. It was his choice not to and when he realizes what he could have had in his life he decided he needed to change.
From reading this short passage from the book I can take away that nothing is more important than true love. Money should never make a difference no matter what the circumstance.
